Raw sugar: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of raw sugar weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of raw sugar in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup raw sugar | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 200 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 211 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 240 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 169 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of raw sugar?
Because one cup of raw sugar weighs about 200 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 200. So 100g of raw sugar is about 0.5 cups, 200g is about 1 cups, 250g is about 1.25 cups, and 300g is about 1.5 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure raw sugar accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh raw sugar on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of raw sugar weighs about 200 grams (7.05 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts raw sugar and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Raw sugar's coarse crystals dissolve slowly, so cream it longer or dissolve it in liquid when a smooth result matters.
